About Sisters for Life

The Sisters of Life is a contemplative / active religious community of women founded in 1991 by John Cardinal O’Connor for the protection and enhancement of the sacredness of every human life. Like all religious communities, Sisters for Life takes the three traditional vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. They are consecrated under a special, fourth vow to protect and enhance the sacredness of human life.​

Reverence and gratitude for the unique and unrepeatable gift of each human life made in the image and likeness of God fuels the prayer of each Sister, the sisters first mission in building the Kingdom of God and the “Culture of Life.” It also provides the starting point for our interactions with others, especially relationships in community between 80 Sisters (who come from across the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, Australia and Spain), and in their apostolates.​

Inspired by the love of Christ their Spouse, the author of Life, they desire to pour out all our gifts of nature and grace in the apostolate, that nothing of the gift of life, and no one to whom it has been given, should be lost.​

Their missions are carried out with the heart of the Church and with the hope of revealing to those they serve the inherent goodness and beauty of their own lives, so that each person may see and experience the truth that they are an unrepeatable creation of the Master.
